Children

Children are welcomed as important members of our church community.  We are a very diverse group with many children from Karen, Karenni, Congolese, and Chin, and American families joining together.  Our Sunday School classes are taught in English with other languages added in as needed.  Our children not only hear the teachings of Christ, but they are also involved in putting what they learn into practice in hands-on, interactive ways. They participate in congregational worship, joining in the early part of our service. They occasionally lead worship in different ways, sharing what they have been learning.

A nursery is provided for infants and toddlers. Many of our parents choose to stay in the nursery with their children while listening to our service.  We welcome other parents who choose to bring their children into worship with them.  We do encourage parents to take noisy or fussy children to the nursery.

During the summer months children's Sunday School classes continue, but with larger and more informal structure.

A Karen Children’s class meets during Karen worship to teach Karen language and also Christian faith through use of Bible stories and songs in Karen.

Adults

Our adult education small groups meet on Sunday mornings after worship September through May, with occasional special study groups, workshops, and other events offered throughout the year.  Our offerings include classes on gay theology and LGBT concerns, Bible study, spirituality, and forums on varied social justice issues.

Spiritual Formation and Education
Together we seek to be a community that is growing in our faith and  love for God.  Regular Sunday morning Sunday School classes for all ages and other special groups and activities provide ways to study the Bible, grow in our spiritual practice, and discern God’s workings in the world around us. Led by the Spiritual Formation and Education Ministry and our many dedicated volunteer teachers, we as a community grow as disciples of Jesus Christ and support each other on our spiritual journeys.
